After Xia Li is taken out backstage, The Genius of The Sky returns to action against Aliyah, with a spot in the upcoming No. 1 Contender’s Ladder Match on the line. Catch WWE action on WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India and more.

Aliyah thought she'd have a chance to gain retribution against Xia Li for the broken nose she suffered last November.

But what she got instead was a date with the always-dangerous Io Shirai. Taking advantage of the surprise factor, The Evil Genius of The Sky overwhelmed Aliyah, pinning her after a moonsault to earn a spot in the NXT Women's Championship No. 1 Contender's Ladder Match in two weeks. And after a performance like this, Shirai has to be considered among the favorites to win.
